Description: Standing, move one leg laterally while keeping the trunk stable, as if gliding on ice. Control the movement carefully, avoiding leaning the body, then slowly return to the starting position.

Tips: Keep your back straight and engage the muscles around the hip to stabilize. Perform the movement slowly to feel the control.

Progression: Increase the number of repetitions or add slight resistance with an elastic band around the ankles when the movement becomes easy.
